Report
Corbett Hoenninger, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Argotec, has quite the space career.  From training astronauts at NASA to helping lead the Dream Chaser’s drop tests (including a memorable crash landing), Corbett shares what it’s really like behind the scenes of space exploration. Corbett talks about the recent NASA DART mission, (giving an asteroid a nudge), and how small satellites are changing the game in space. Corbett started working in the field of psychology, then shifted to aerospace engineering… and combining both to present this great philosophy of being “fearless, but not reckless,” Corbett proves that you don’t have to be a scientist or an engineer to make your mark in the space industry. Sometimes, you just need a spark of curiosity and the courage to explore.
